The Xe-100
A different kind of nuclear reactor.
X-energy is a nuclear reactor and fuel design engineering services company. Founded in 2009 by Dr. Kam Ghaffarian, X-energy is developing Generation IV, high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor designs that are smaller, simpler and meltdown-proof when compared to conventional nuclear designs. The company objective is to incorporate innovative design features with the goal of building a game-changing, small-scale nuclear energy source that can be adapted to a variety of markets. The Xe-100 reactor is a disruptive technology to the global power generating market because it produces zero emissions, provides for size flexibility, can serve nontraditional markets such as process heat, and is economically attractive.
